章 1455: The Gold Mine

"People consider the mining here to be a traditional thing more than actual labor," King Tan explained to Alex in a very unenthusiastic voice. "I do not know when it started, but it has been here for a very long time."

"I don't believe it was a tradition at the start. It was nothing but a way for people here to earn their living."

"At that time, the mine wasn't fully developed and they only mined the outside parts where there wasn't much gold. However, when they dug in deeper one day, they found that there was way more gold in there and hand the entire town dig here for days."

"The gold they dug was enough to bring them all out of poverty, to make them rich enough not just to buy their necessities, but to also buy resources that would help them on their cultivation journey."
